Worship

Celebrating God in worship is at the very heart of our life together. Each Sunday we experience the mystery of God, hear and wrestle with God's word, share Christ's presence in the Holy Meal, feel God's love through community, and leave strengthened to live and serve in the world.

We offer three distinct liturgical styles – contemplative, interactive, and choral – so as to meet the diverse worship preferences of our faith community. All are grounded in the Episcopal liturgy found primarily in the Book of Common Prayer and are set amid a comfortable and dynamic worship space. So, come as you are and know that you are welcome!

Worship Times

  • 8:00 a.m. – Holy Eucharist Rite II, spoken
  • 9:00 a.m. – Interactive w/ Holy Communion - conversational “sermon” and prayers
  • 11:15 a.m. – Holy Eucharist Rite II, with hymns and choir

Sunday Morning Coffee

Everyone is invited to enjoy coffee time on Sunday mornings between services. This is a way to stay in contact with congregants at Church of the Servant, meet new worshipers, and share the cheer and joy that attending COS is for everyone. If you would like to know more about helping with this fun social time, ask one of the Holy Baristas on Sunday morning about joining in!

Worship Roles

"The Way of Love - When we worship, we gather with others before God. We hear the Good News of Jesus Christ, give thanks, confess, and offer the brokenness of the world to God. As we break bread, our eyes are opened to the presence of Christ. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we are made one body, the body of Christ sent forth to live the Way of Love." Each week, many volunteers s…

Music

Music, within the context of worship, is primarily chosen for its power to draw each worshipper and the entire parish community into communion with God, with moments of uplifting praise as well as moments of deep meditation and peace. The musical focus is designed to engage the congregation, encouraging and inspiring them to be active participants. While tasteful and well-execute…

Inside Labyrinth

Contemplative worship is a "seeking" style of worship to know God and our true selves, that self that God has created us to be, the self that it takes a life-time journey of mindfulness to discover and identify. While walking the labyrinth is primarily contemplative, many walk in celebration of all that God has done and continues to do in and through our lives and the lives of o…

Baptism

Baptism marks our membership into the Body of Christ, so it is a sacrament celebrated when the other members are present, usually on Sunday mornings. Our liturgical calendar encourages Baptisms to be done on one of the following Sundays:

  • The Feast of the Baptism of our Lord (the first Sunday after Epiphany, which is January 6)
  • The Great Easter Vigil or Easter Sunday
  • The D…

Weddings

The Celebration and Blessing of a Marriage in the Episcopal tradition begins with these words:

"Dearly beloved: We have come together in the presence of God to witness and bless the joining together of these two people in Holy Matrimony. The union of two people in heart, body, and mind is intended by God for their mutual joy; for the help and comfort given one another in prosp…

Funerals & Memorial Services

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39

Paul's words to the church in Rome are a source of comfort to Christians in times of loss, grief, and desp…

Welcome Sunday Worship Who We Are Life Events / Sacraments Becoming a Member

What are you looking for?

These are the first words spoken by Jesus in John’s gospel, directed to a seeker named Andrew. We are all seekers, and while we may not know how to express what it is we’re looking for, we trust that we’ll know it when we see it.

At Church of the Servant, we seek, serve, and celebrate God and each other in a safe and accepting community. We welcome people from various backgrounds and ethnicities, those who are straight, LGBTQ, married, partnered, single, from other denominations and faith traditions, life-long Episcopalians, brand new to church or returning to church after a long absence.

Learn More About Worship

Who we are…

  • We are an inclusive group of people searching for spirituality and meaning in our lives.
  • We honor people for who they are and where they are in their lives.
  • We live our lives in thanksgiving for the love that God has bestowed on all creation, rather than live our lives in order to earn that love.
  • We are a growing church filled with love and creativity.
  • We work together, play together and search together.

Welcome Card

God is present in every occasion of our lives. Together we mark these special times with celebrations of worship to highlight the ways in which God is always at work throughout the events of our lives.

Baptism Confirmation Weddings Funerals

Though not like a social or professional organization, the Episcopal Church does have membership criteria. These aren’t meant to say who is "in" or who is "out", but instead, to establish who has taken an intentional step to be part of a worshiping community and who is either still discerning, or someone we should invite to join us on this faith journey!
